Contractor Safety Management

Contractor Safety Management

A Winner of the Educational Award by the World Safety Organization Contractor safety management is often seen as nothing more than a subset of general safety management in that no special consideration needs to be given to understanding the difficulties of the contract environment. This leaves contractors endlessly juggling competing and sometimes contradictory demands made by the principal in the name of safety and health. Instead of managing the work in accordance with the contract and the agreed health and safety management plan contractors find themselves having to cope with moveable ever-changing expectations about the way that health and safety is supposed to be managed. Contractor Safety Management explores how the contracting principal relationship can influence safety outcomes and how a principal's role in overseeing the safety performance of its contractors is different from managing safety in its own organization. It brings together perspectives from different disciplines including legal health and safety management operational and contract and procurement management. The editor and chapter authors examine real-life cases the issues that they present and the way that safety management was handled. By sharing lessons across disciplines the book identifies critical issues in contractor safety management and raises awareness of its complexity and importance. It provides wide-ranging and comprehensive insight into the concerns confronting organizations managers and safety managers in contracting relationships. Offering guidance on how critical issues might be addressed the book uses real-life cases to draw conclusions from successes and failures that can guide future contracting strategies for effectively controlling health and safety risks in a contracting environment.

Agricultural Safety

Agricultural Safety

Lack of accidents does not necessarily mean safe operation. You may have been lucky. You may have had near misses but fortune smiled and you had few accidents. Measuring accidents provides one segment of the safety picture but it is a far cry from evaluating and creating overall safety. Rather than giving you accident statistics and the admonition you need a program Agricultural Safety shows you how to do safety. The book sets forth the steps you need to take to make safety a part of your everyday farming operation such as:- Identification of key safety activities that will lead to better control of losses- Setting standards and guidelines for doing that work- Measurement of the effectiveness of the work being done in accordance with the standards and guidelines- Evaluating program progress based upon measurements taken- Correcting deficiencies based on the evaluation(s)The author covers topics such as machinery operation maintenance and repair techniques fire loss control techniques the safe handling of agrochemicals and techniques involving the handling of animals. He provides you with a step-by-step manual for the procurement handling and storage of agrochemicals and pesticides as well as a guide to personal protective equipment and reviews safety for third parties and the posting of property and public warnings. To achieve safety the work of safety must be done measured for efficiency evaluated in real-world terms and corrective action taken as needed in a timely manner. Many books on safety provide a list of dos and don'ts. Agricultural Safety discusses the ways and means of managing and controlling accidental loss and shows you how to build safety into your operation.

Safety Metrics for the Modern Safety Professional

Safety Management Systems in Aviation

Measuring Safety Management Performance

Measuring Safety Management Performance

Measuring Safety Management Performance lists and explains the difference between lagging and leading measures of safety management performance. It informs the reader how to use both proactive and reactive safety performance indicators and explains that consequence measurement is not an accurate reflection of the organization’s safety effort. It suggests managements’ Safety Performance Indicators (SPI) should be changed to proactive positive measures of action and activities which can be controlled and accurately measured. A roadmap of a holistic system for measurement is offered that covers health and safety performance. It shows how management is traditionally informed about where they have been by information provided relating to injury data rather than proactive measurable and controllable data on accident prevention efforts provided by the health and safety management system (SMS) which indicate where they are going. This highly practical book features examples of safety performance indicators provides positive guidelines for accurate safety performance measurement and is based on actual workplace experiences. It explains the strengths and weaknesses of proactive and reactive measurement metrics and gives examples of leading and lagging safety performance indicators. This book will be an ideal read for professionals and graduate students in the fields of occupational health and safety ergonomics and human factors engineering. It will have resonance with managers and professionals engaged in health and safety provisions at their place of work.
